Bidspirit auction | Pair of Carved Citrine Parrots

Pair of Carved Citrine Parrots on Amethyst Geode Bases - This lot presents a pair of exquisitely carved gemstone parrot figures, each perched upon a natural amethyst geode base. The parrots are crafted from citrine, exhibiting warm yellow and orange hues, with delicate carving defining their feathers and crests. Their beaks appear to be made from a contrasting green gemstone, possibly serpentine or jade, and their eyes are represented by small, dark cabochons. Each bird is affixed to its amethyst geode base with what appears to be gilded metal feet, adding a touch of elegance. The amethyst bases display natural crystalline formations, ranging from pale lavender to deeper purple tones, providing a striking contrast to the vibrant parrots. These decorative sculptures showcase fine lapidary work and the natural beauty of the minerals.
